A TYCOON linked to the embezzlement of Bank Bali funds has been reportedly arrested in Malaysia, report Indonesian media.
Djoko Tjandra, 68, was convicted for corruption in 2009 and was seeking medical treatment in Kuala Lumpur.
Police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed the arrest of the 68-year-old, said detik.com.
Djoko was arrested yesterday, said CNN Indonesia, which also reported that Indonesian police hatched the plan to arrest the fugitive on July 20.
In 2009, Djoko fled to Papua New Guinea the day before he was sentenced to jail for his role in the embezzlement of Bank Bali funds.
On June 29, Indonesian attorney-general S.T. Burhanuddin said Djoko had been in Indonesia for the past three months but the justice minister said there were no immigration records of the return.
His lawyer, Anita Kolopaking, said Djoko was seeking treatment in Kuala Lumpur for an undisclosed illness.
Djoko is also linked to the development of 1MDB’s Signature Tower in the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) through the family-founded property developer Mulia Group and its local subsidiary. – July 31, 2020.
